Ulysses is regarded by many as the single most important novel of the 20th century. It tells the story of one day in Dublin, June 16th 1904, largely through the eyes of Stephen Dedalus (Joyce's alter ego from Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man) and Leopold Bloom, an advertising salesman. Both begin a normal day, and both set off on a journey around the streets of Dublin, which eventually brings them into contact with one another.

Chargée d'écrire une préface pour l'extraordinaire journal que Marie Curie a tenu après la mort de Pierre Curie, Rosa Montero s'est vue prise dans un tourbillon de mots. Au fil de son récit du parcours extraordinaire et largement méconnu de cette femme hors normes, elle construit un livre à mi-chemin entre les souvenirs personnels et la mémoire collective, entre l'analyse de notre époque et l'évocation intime. Elle nous parle du dépassement de la douleur, de la perte de l'homme aimé qu'elle vient elle-même de vivre, du deuil, de la reconstruction de soi, des relations entre les hommes et les femmes, de la splendeur du sexe, de la bonne mort et de la belle vie, de la science et de l'ignorance, de la force salvatrice de la littérature et de la sagesse de ceux qui apprennent à jouir de l'existence avec plénitude et légèreté.

Centering on the seminal lockout of 20,000 workers in Dublin in 1913, Strumpet City by Irish writer James Plunkett encompasses a wide sweep of city life. From the destitution of "Rashers" Tierney, the poorest of the poor, to the solid, aspirant respectability of Fitz and Mary, the priestly life of Father O'Connor, and the upper-class world of Yearling and the Bradshaws, it paints a portrait of a city of stark contrasts, with an urban working class mired in vicious poverty. To hear the book is to immerse yourself in social and historical writing akin to Chekhov and Tolstoy.

There’s Father Flynn, the priest; Evelyn, the shop girl who dreams of escape; Mrs Mooney, the butcher’s daughter, who runs a boarding house.
